What is 904Living?

Good question.  If you’re coming to the site for the first time, or are from somewhere other than Jacksonville, this probably looks like an odd title for a website.  In short, 904 is the area code that covers Jacksonville, Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach, and Ponte Vedra Beach.  Rather than rattling off each area served, 904 says it all in only 3 digits!   Beyond that, 904Living.com is powered by the team at ERA Heavener Realty and is focused on helping you, whether selling or buying, simplify your real estate transactions with smart, hassle-free solutions!  If you’re buying we provide you with the best online tools for researching homes, neighborhoods, schools, crime, shopping, and mortgage options.  If selling, giving you cutting edge tools for the marketing of the property along with a pre-planned, proven strategy that we will custom fit to your situation.

Who is 904Living?

Most of the posts (blog and otherwise) will come from me Jeff Riber.  I grew up in Jacksonville, spent 4 years in Virginia getting a degree in Finance from Liberty University, and then came back because I love the 904!  After a few years in the mortgage industry as an underwriter, it was time to pursue a career in real estate.  I’ve been working as an agent since 2007 and became the broker/owner of ERA Heavener Realty in 2011.  In 2010 I was honored to have been nominated to the Jacksonville Business Journals 40 Under 40 crew.  In real estate, my sold volume to date is a bit over $15 Million.  And, every day creates a new challenge, which is why I love what I do.  In addition to real estate, I love traveling with my wife to cool places and am fortunate to get to coach high school basketball in my free time.

Additionally, the number at the top right is my cell phone. I can’t answer all of the time, but can certainly try. And can assure you that I will return any voice message that you leave. Because my business is about helping you accomplish your real estate goals.  Being accessible and acting promptly is an important part of making real estate deals happen.  If email is easier, you can send to: Jeff@ERA.com

Where is 904Living?

Why 904Living?

It’s like my Dad always told me…  “Give a man a fish, you’ll feed him for a day…  Teach a man to fish, and you’ll feed him for a lifetime.”  Many times in the world of real estate, agents will throw tons of information/advice at a client hoping that something sticks.  Instead of allowing them to listen, learn and self-discover.  This blog is about connecting the information, systems and knowledge that I’ve gained in this business, and putting it on to one platform so that a buyer or seller will have the best tools, advice and listing data for making a wise real estate decision.
